Chapter 1. Jane Gray

                                                                       JANE GRAY

She sought peace in them; all virtues, like fields, 

It is impossible to count up, but it's not enough to lie

The fate was. Her attack -

Forbearance. Her care

Was wise and quiet, like the sky.

Conquering the former, thanks

Guardian, his passions,

She left this world, bearing vain gifts.

But what about waiting for happiness, not taking power under the bridle!

She took the crown to give those people power and rank,

But the burnt and throne gave birth to many routines,

Under the canopy of an invisible spot

They hid good deeds.

William Hoon (1780 - 1842)

Perhaps this was because her parents - Henry Gray, the Marquis of Dorset, and Francis Brandon, for the most part cared only about themselves. Jane's father ultimately received the title of Duke of Suffolk. Jane spent most of her childhood in the parents' house with her younger sisters - Katerina and Maria.

When Jane was 9 years old, she was introduced to the court. She was under the guardianship of Queen Catherine Parr, the 6th and last wife of King Henry VIII. Here she continued her studies. Surprisingly, she mastered Latin, Greek, French and Italian. These were truly happy times. She was very devoted to Queen Catherine and entered into her trust. At the age of 17 she wrote:

Live silently to die, so you can have eternal life. As the preacher says, there is a time
